that's what it looks like to use the culture war issue against republicans, to use their own extremism nationally against them locally. the other bit of conventional wisdom democrats appear to be following en masse this year is that democrats can't run on their own record. democrats can't run on what they've accomplished in washington over the last two years. it can't be done. republicans said these elections should be a referendum on president obama. and the people are angry at president obama and at the democrats so therefore since republicans said we should do it that way i guess it will be that way. by and large, democrats appear to have bought into that republican serving spin about these elections instead of fighting it and putting their own framing on things. that's why you see democrats across the country doing anything they can to avoid acknowledging that their district is part of the country. that they are part of a party. they're part of a party that the president is actually the leader of. and he's been doing stuff. democrats, they say you can't run on your record. they say
